tired of X tired from

Once, I read somewhere that there is a difference between "tired of" X "tired from", but I can´t find this in any dictionary or grammar. Can anyohe help me? (And please, indicate the source, where I can find this)

e.g:
a. Anna is tired of doing her homework. [She no longer wants to do her homework. She is bored of doing homework.]

b. Anna is tired from doing her homework. [She feels physically exhausted from doing her homework.]

Yes, there is a difference and your examples and explanations are correct. "To tire of" is to become bored with. "To tire from" is to be exhausted by.
